Nitric oxide synthesis modulation governs vascular tone and blood flow, directly improving oxygen delivery to damaged tissue across the gut, muscle, and neural systems
In addition, immunosuppressive cells target effector cells through the expression of immune checkpoint proteins, e.g., the PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 proteins, which suppress the activation of T cells and prevent antigen-presentation
